TOUR DESCRIPTION

Prague is a city rich in literature and history, one
whose many stories are nestled together side by side. Located directly in the centre of Europe,
Prague has been an intersection for so many years
of the various competing forces of history,
which have given the city the unique character
we see today.

The city’s strange mix of beauty and brutality has
served as inspiration for creative individuals, and
Prague now boasts a rich literary and artistic
heritage, which reflects the complex history
of this tragic yet lyrical space.

This walking tour will take you to some
of the highlights of this city’s historical and literary spots. It starts in the New Town and works its way
to the centre, dropping you off not far from
Old Town Square. Follow in the footsteps of
Kundera / Hrabal / Kafka / K.H. Mácha,
visit the crypt where the Heydrich assassins were found, and learn why so many historical Prague citizens were thrown out of windows, not usually
by their own choice.

Tour costs 500 CZK per person.

Children under 12 go for free.
